Inspirational Trekking

Just a quick one today, I just thought it might be cool to quickly mention a few very inspirational treks that are going on right now. Sometime we all need a little pick me up and realise that maybe our problems aren’t so big after all, and also that you can do a power of good just by putting one foot in front of the other.

First from Arizona a blind man, Mike Armstrong, is trekking several hundred miles over 6 weeks. Say Mike : “”It’s been incredible and beautiful,” Armstrong said. “The different scenery and areas we’ve gone through are inspiring. Even though I can’t see, I appreciate it through my guides’ eyes. I’m always asking what things look like, what the terrain is like ahead.” He has been trekking for two years now.

Now I am very much a Republican (the kind who want to see the English royal family disbanded, not the American political kind), but even I like this. Prince Harry spent several days last week trekking with wounded servicemen in the Arctic. The goal is to raise over 3 million dollars for the walking wounded charity. I’ll resist commenting on that damn wedding

I hope this makes you feel better about the world as it did us. If you hear of any more inspirational treks, please let us know, we might just make this a regular feature in any case.
